INT-006: Python Bindings (PyGoSQLX)

[ajitpratap0]

Summary

Create Python bindings for GoSQLX to access 5x larger market (Python developers).

Problem

Market Limitation: Limited to Go developers. Python has 5x more SQL tool users (data engineers, analysts, DBAs).

Action Items

1. Create C API layer for FFI:

   • gosqlx_parse()
   • gosqlx_validate()
   • gosqlx_format()
   • Memory management functions

2. Python bindings via ctypes or Cython:

   import pygosqlx
   
   # Parse SQL
   ast = pygosqlx.parse("SELECT * FROM users")
   
   # Validate SQL
   if pygosqlx.validate(sql):
       print("Valid SQL")
   
   # Format SQL
   formatted = pygosqlx.format(sql)
   
   # Extract tables
   tables = pygosqlx.extract_tables(sql)

3. Package structure:

   • PyPI package: pygosqlx
   • Wheels for major platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows)
   • Type hints (PEP 484)
   • Documentation with Sphinx

4. Publish to PyPI

5. Performance benchmarks vs SQLFluff (target: 100x+ faster)

Acceptance Criteria

• Python bindings working on Linux, macOS, Windows
• Published to PyPI
• Performance ≥ 100x SQLFluff for parsing
• Type hints included
• Complete documentation
• Pip installable: pip install pygosqlx

Technical Details

Priority: High
Effort: Large (120h / 3 months)
Phase: Phase 5 - Integrations & Ecosystem
Dependencies: None

Example Performance

# SQLFluff: ~500ms for medium query
# PyGoSQLX: ~5ms for same query (100x faster)
